Browser here to tell you about another reason why we are
lucky to live in beautiful Minnesota. Minnesota Clean Water Land and Legacy
Amendment is bringing us another free Legacy Program. This one is from
children’s author, Patrick Mader. He
will be at the Pine River Public Library
June 18th at 2PM. Mr. Mader writes from his experiences growing
up on a dairy farm. Since our hometown is a rural one, this will be fun for all
of us living here.

I will be hosting the screening of “If Only CATS Could Talk”.

Don’t miss this! This is
stranger-than-fiction true story about two all American cats (one of them is
yours truly) and the humans in their lives. Danish film maker Signe Veje came
to Pine River during Summerfest of 2012 to film me and my town. This
documentary tells my story as well as the story of Frankie, my pen pal, in
California. Ms. Veje has been entering this movie into Film Festivals around
the world. Who knew I would be a star? Well, actually, I did. The showing will be
held at The Warehouse Saturday, June 22nd
at 3PM. Only one day showing, so please come see me on the big screen!
Admission will be a donation for the Pine River Food Shelf or for Paws and
Claws Animal Shelter. Tickets are available at our library or at the door. Hope Muriel lets me go as well. I don’t want
to miss this!

“All righty then” Says Jim Carey in his classic movie, “Pet
Detective”. We do have spring. We do have grass, and leaves on the trees, and
flowers.

And what, may I ask, comes after spring? Why summer, of course.

And
what does summer bring? The summer reading program!

Sign up began the week of June
3rd. Don’t miss out. This is
fun stuff full of all sorts of special events and prizes and gatherings. I
know. I’ve been there before.

“Dig into Reading” is for 5 to 12 year olds and
begins June 10 and continues through August 3rd.

But wait! There’s
more!

The teen program, “Beneath the Surface” begins at the same time. Among
the events is children’s author, Patrick Mader. The DNR will bring Smokey the
Bear. We will be having Monkey Mind Pirates Yoga Party.

Speaking of spring and summer, your important equipment has
been sitting idle all winter. Maybe it isn’t working quite right or at all.
What to do? What to do? Oh! Go to KRLS.org and check the small engine repair
reference center. There is all sorts of important information on lawn mowers,
atv’s, farm tractors, boats, tillers, and other stuff you have in your garage
or storage shed. Fix that stuff! Yard work is more fun when your equipment
works properly. Not into yard work? What about that boat motor? Fishing is fun,
but if you get stranded out on the lake that isn’t so fun. (Actually, I don’t
do a lot of fishing, but I do enjoy fish.)

About Me

I enjoy meeting people. I moved into the Pine River Library in 2002 and have been there ever since. I love to sit with the kids at storytime and appreciate when someone opens the door for me. I only talk when I have something important to say. I will let you know when I've had enough attention! ;-) I enjoy meeting up with my friend Beau in the parking lot. I don't like it when he runs up to me out of nowhere. For a dog he's quite friendly.
